The Head of the Presidential Council, Mohamed Al-Menfi, participated in the 3rd Mid-Year Coordination Meeting between the African Union, the Regional Economic Communities and Regional Mechanisms.
The meeting was held virtually with the participation of the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the President the African Union, in addition to a number of heads of state and government, heads of regional economic communities, the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, and members of the AU Bureau.
In his speech, Al-Menfi praised the efforts made to advance the process of African action to realize the aspirations of the peoples of the continent through the African Union, the regional economic groups and regional mechanisms.
Al-Menfi stressed that the continent needs integration to reach to the rank it deserves, saying that this will only come with a strong political will and one voice at all regional, continental and international levels.
He pointed out that the Continental Free Trade Area and other continental programs and strategies have become a reality on the ground, calling for more efforts to boost economies and small and medium enterprises to contribute to making the African economy competitive, and not only an economy that depends on import and consumption.
